CoCreate Announces OneSpace 5.0; OneSpace 5.0's Virtual Conference Room Helps Global Design Teams Work Together More Effectively.Business Editors and High Tech Writers FORT COLLINS, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 12, 2000 CoCreate (CoCreate Software Inc., Fort Collins, CO, www.cocreate.com) A software company specializing in mechanical CAD (MCAD), data management and project team collaboration software. Established in 1985 as the Mechanical Design Division of Hewlett-Packard, CoCreate adopted its present name in Software Inc., a subsidiary of Hewlett-Packard See HP. Hewlett-Packard - (HP) Hewlett-Packard designs, manufactures and services electronic products and systems for measurement, computation and communications. The company's products and services are used in industry, business, engineering, science, medicine and Company, today announced the release of OneSpace 5.0. OneSpace is a market-leading, design-chain-integration solution that provides global teams a virtual conference room to interact in real time on mechanical designs. Today's announcement responds to customers' needs to provide global design teams greater information access across design systems. The OneSpace virtual conference room concept is based on the idea that the best thinking happens when people work together, regardless of physical location, expertise or language. "Universal access to design information created using multiple CAD CAD: see computer-aided design. (Computer-Aided Design) Using computers to design products. CAD systems are high-speed workstations or desktop computers with CAD software. and PDM (1) (Product Data Management) An information system used to manage the data for a product as it passes from engineering to manufacturing. The data includes plans, geometric models, CAD drawings, images, NC programs as well as all related project data, notes and systems has always been the hallmark hallmark, mark impressed on silverwork or goldwork to signify official approval of the standard of purity of the metal, also called plate mark. The hallmark was introduced by statute in England in 1300 and enforced by the Goldsmiths' Hall, London. of OneSpace," said Tilman Tilman is a surname, it may refer to:
All parties that have an interest, financial or otherwise, in a firm-stockholders, creditors, bondholders, employees, customers, management, the community, and the government. in the design chain can work together more effectively."
The OneSpace 5.0 release comprises four key enhancements.
-- Improved information sharing -- Quickly disseminating
critical design information to people outside the
primary design team is now easier. A 3-D orientation
with markups can now be captured and retrieved by
extended team members. This "snapshot" can be taken from
multiple angles to illustrate design intent or solicit
feedback on an unresolved design issue.
-- Enhanced file access -- All critical information,
regardless of its original format, now can be made part
of a real-time collaboration session. Through enhanced
file import capabilities, 300 new file formats, ranging
from Microsoft(R) Office files, PDF files to 2-D
AutoCad(TM) files, can now be imported and viewed in a
OneSpace session.
-- New Product Data Management (PDM) adapters -- OneSpace
users can now quickly find and import the extended array
of file formats they need with the help of new PDM
adapters. Using a Web-centric implementation, these PDM
adapters have been added to complement existing 3-D CAD
adapters.
-- New pop-up templates -- Many common processes and
activities involved in collaborative work, such as issue
identification and resolution, action items and decision
tracking, will be simplified with OneSpace's new pop-up
templates. One-click access to templates makes it easy
to store this information with the 3-D geometry and
markups. Extended query capabilities enable keyword
searches to quickly retrieve this information at a later
date.
CoCreate's vision of the virtual conference room recognizes that breakthrough innovation results from people working together. Using OneSpace, global design teams can easily work together on 3-D mechanical-engineering information generated in their preferred platforms, resolve problems and communicate in real time. With its intuitive Web-based user interface OneSpace facilitates collaboration Working together on a project. See collaborative software. and consensus within the entire design and supply chain, regardless of CAD or PDM tools used, language or location.
